St. Paul's Bay is named after Saint Paul the
Apostle who, according to legend, was shipwrecked here. The greater St.
Pauls Bay area consists of the resort towns of
Qawra,
Bugibba and Mellieha in this north
west region of Malta. The population of the wider St. Pauls Bay area
quadruples in summer as tourists and locals crowd the popular holiday
areas.
There isn't much to see and do in St. Pauls
Bay itself although the bay is picturesque enough with its sprinkling of
boats and calm, cobalt waters. Holidaymakers usually pass the area by on
their way to the resort towns, which, in a way, can be reason enough to
come here.
